Race no.3 in the Tour of Clydeside 4-race series.
I started this race with a 27 second lead over Chris Devenney, following the first 2 races at Kilbarchan and Clydebank. I started fast and tried to track Chris, but he kicked away on the first climb and drove away the entire race, and was soon out of sight on the twisty hilly course around the woods in Dawsholm Park.
I held onto second place on the initial short lap, but on the first long descent John Bell of Springburn went past, and a little later Paul Thompson of Helensburgh got a yard or two in front.
I planned to close down Paul on the third and final lap, but discovered the tank was empty, and finished 19 seconds adrift in 4th place in 19:21.
Just one race left now. Tomorrow night's 10k featuring 2 laps of Pollok Park.

Well done Chris!
Just one more to go.
I hope you don't mind but I copied the results onto our Kilbarchan web site!
